Nice playground Clive. Bet you get some great views.
Yes Gary, it's great here!
Took another track today from the house, it goes up to the same place (as the first post), but it's very narrow, muddy and steep!
Following the 1F NE
My usual route is the track to the left of this one (Strada Poiana Comarnic), which meets the asphalt road (DJ 101S) coming in from the left
Pretty sticky stuff!
There's a few more to add, I'll edit them in later...
PS Now I'm back from walking my little'un on the neighbour's horse...
This is steep, but doesn't look it in the pics...
Eventually, on the top!
Looking down the way we'd come up...
We then took a run down the hill to the asphalt and found a cart track on the right (marked in red).
No photos of this but the track was very wet from yesterday's rain and so effin' slippery! On the contours, the arse-end was siding away which was very scary!
Time to find a safe way down, so at the end of the red line, which was very steep straight up the hill but on grass (thankfully), we turned right and then right again facing back down onto a steep but safe track running directly down the hill.
Looking ahead of us
And looking back up poised for the decent...
These narrow tracks can be difficult
It then got narrower and steeper...
...and steeper
Looking back up...
And then dropping down to the asphalt, on the right.
Why is it that steep never looks steep in photos!
The truck was standing on its nose coming down there
PPS
BFG Muds. Excellent tyre, found grip on the rocky sections even when full of sticky gloop. Can't rate them high enough for soft-going offroad.
